PURPOSE: To prepare an edible container giving crisp feeling to the palate by kneading wheat, etc., and water, sandwiching the aqueous kneaded mixture between hot plates to gelatinize the starch, drying at a specific temperature, forming the obtained plate in the form of a dish, etc., and moistening and then drying the dish with heat.

CONSTITUTION: An aqueous mixture 2 produced by mixing raw materials such as wheat flour, sugar and oil and fat with water is poured and spread on a hot plate 10a and pressed with another hot plate 10b to gelatinize the wheat flour in the aqueous kneaded mixture and dry the mixture to an extent to evaporate the water from the kneaded mixture 2A. The obtained plate (having water-content of 3-5%) is peeled off from the hot plate 10 and formed in the form of a dish or cup to form a temporarily formed edible container. The product is moistened to a water-content of 8-14% and the obtained moist edible container is subjected to finish drying and forming by drying with heat to obtain the objective dried and shaped edible container having a water-content of ≥0.4%.
